Hi!
Just got my BFP this weekend.
I got my first faint positive Friday morning with an frer, and today it's much darker (11dpo)!

Leading up to my bfp, I've had icky feeling, tiredness, dizzy spells, headaches, cramps.
Not feeling as icky as with my last pregnancy yet though!
Provisional due date of 7th January using the NHS calculator.

Come and join once you've got your bfp for January 2021, for a few pregnancy pals!

Morning ladies, I have come across this post and wondered if I could join? I don’t have Facebook so can’t use that page. I got a BFP yesterday which was a shocked as I took one 10days prior and it was negative. From my last period it states I am due early Jan but not sure as I only had one period from coming off my pill so don’t know the length of my cycle. My OH and I have decided to keep it ourselves until the 12 week scan to be sure so don’t have anyone to talk to about what is normal...I think it sounds like we are all in the same boat.. xxx

OMG anyone got pure rage? My DH is driving me insane today.

I know this happened with DS1. The pregnant me wants to punch a wall.

@FirstTimeMumAt31 @Elmlee @whatsthecraic91 Yay same-or-nearly DD buddies :)

I have definitely noticed needing a wee a lot more, generally getting up once around midnight and once around 5:30 for a wee these days (very inconvenient!)

I had quite a bit of spotting/light bleeding about a week ago, panicked a bit and thought I'd lost it, but no real pain and now only tiny bits of spotting. Got my epu scan booked in for Tuesday so can't wait for that.

Actually feeling a tad queasy now, but could be in my head!

whatsthecraic91 · 16/05/2020 12:26

@BabyG123 yip, I have had this a couple of times, like you could just scream into a pillow 😆

@Elmlee I'm due 2nd Jan! I think it might change when I go for my scan tho as I sometimes ovulate later in my cycle x

whatsthecraic91 · 16/05/2020 12:28

@CoalCraft was meant to tag you in that last post 😂 yes I am going to the loo a lot!! Sometimes 3 times in the night it's so annoying & only going to get worse!

Milkshake54 · 16/05/2020 12:29

@BabyG123 yes! I can’t stand the sound of him eating 😂 and before I got my BFP I punched him on the arm because he was annoying me 😂

Ladies, do any of you get like tummy pain (like you need the toilet) pains with nausea? This is my first baby so all new to me.

whatsthecraic91 · 16/05/2020 12:58

Argh it stresses me out how many symptoms everyone is feeling! I probably should be grateful, but even the mild ones I had (sore boobs, tiredness) have been fine the past week or so. I just wish the next month would magic away so I could be at 12 weeks!!

Ash2345f · 16/05/2020 13:07

@always934 I double checked with the company to see if I could book still and they were really helpful and they were still taking bookings even if it was for more piece of mind . Yer that would be a shame if your partner couldn’t go if he was offshore it’s just such a long wait until 12 weeks and I don’t have my first midwife appointment until mid June

CoalCraft · 16/05/2020 13:29

@MayBug2020 I don't really have nausea but I do have tummy pain with feeling the need to go to the toilet. I've put it down to constipation Confused

miaabigail · 16/05/2020 13:56

Hi! I got my BFP yesterday and according to the due date calculator I'm due on 21st January 2020! Having previously experienced miscarriages I'm super nervous about this but I have a good feeling. Also scary because of the pandemic also 🤷🏽‍♀️
Ive been feeling quite sickly and my nipples are swollen and sore. Been having slight stretching pains in my stomach also.

Congrats to all :)

Anyone else experiencing PAL / anyone else due late jan?

MayBug2020 · 16/05/2020 14:23

@CoalCraft mine seems to be first thing in the morning. I haven’t suffered with constipation yet but do have a lower back ache.

BabyG123 · 16/05/2020 14:55

@whatsthecraic91

@Milkshake54

So glad I'm not alone 🤣

BabyG123 · 16/05/2020 14:57

@Carabu1 I had nothing the whole pregnancy with DS1! Except the need for chocolate but I think I just took advantage of the situation 😬

Jellybean252 · 16/05/2020 16:48

@whatsthecraic91
Your name seem so familiar!!! Were you on the Feb/march Bus?!?!

whatsthecraic91 · 16/05/2020 17:01

@Jellybean252 hey!! I've been here a long long time 🤣 my first bus was Dec 18 & now here I am - it's finally happened 😁

Littlebump2018 · 16/05/2020 17:09

@whatsthecraic91 omg I was also on the December 18 bus!! What are the chances of that! (Although I was also on the Jan one as DD I thought was due later than she was) whats your little ones birthday?

whatsthecraic91 · 16/05/2020 17:34

@Littlebump2018 I mean TTC buses! Only got my first BFP at the end of April there after 16 cycles!

Hanabanana17 · 16/05/2020 18:11

Hi everyone! Looking to join and for some advice if anyone's out there with similar. Had a BFP last night (around 5 weeks, due date 14th Jan) which was exciting and scary. We've been trying for 4 years (miscarried in 2016) and been having fertility treatment for 3 years on and off (2 unsuccessful attempts of IUI). I had cervical cancer last year which meant we had to stop until I was treated and I haven't been able to have my 6 month check up due to COVID! We were also due to have IVF this month which was also cancelled so to find out we're pregnant naturally is amazing! Downside.... I've had a UTI and been on amoxicillin for 3 days, had really bad stomach and cramps and then started spotting today on every wipe (had a couple of days brown spotting last week which I put down to implantation now I know I'm positive). I did two further tests this morning and the line is really really faint :( I'm so anxious I'm miscarrying again I feel so sad. We want this baby so much. I have seen its fairly common to have light bleeding and cramps in the beginning but not convinced (as my only experience of this didn't end well). Also boobs were sore last week but don't feel so sore now. Anyone else had similar but ended with a healthy pregnancy?! X

Baba11 · 16/05/2020 19:02

@Hanabanana17 congrats
You are right, light bleeding can be common at the start. Brown blood normally represents old blood so it could just be your system clearing out. Try not to stress to much and back away from google. Whatever is going to happen will, regardless of the number of searches u do. You will read a lot of us on here saying how our symptoms have disappeared, so that isn't uncommon neither. Think positive chick

always934 · 16/05/2020 19:13

@Ash2345f I havent even phoned for a midwife appointment yet. It's on tomorrow's to do list. Lol. I think I'll hold off for a while to see if my husband is going to end up away. You're right it seems waaaay to long to wait til 12 weeks. I feel like its dragging in already!

Hanabanana17 · 16/05/2020 19:44

@Baba11 thank you. You're so right, I'm almost obsessing now! Roller-coaster of emotions but it's true what will be will be. I'm willing this to be a sticky bean!
🤞🏻 Will follow you all with interest and hope for your healthy pregnancies. Xx

Hi,
Congratulations to you all!
I have just found out I am pregnant, due 25th Jan 2021. I have a little boy who is 4 and a half! Starting be feel a little overwhelmed with worry about the prospect of having two and disrupting the family dynamic. It’s silly really as my little boy is desperate for a brother or sister and we were actively trying, just a bit overwhelmed! Anyone else feeling this? Or have I officially lost the plot 🤯 xxx
